Re: Need guidance
my problem with not using braid was getting them to trip when bringing them in. The mono has so much stretch I could jerk half of the day before the diver would trip. but with a non-stretch braid it usually only took one good jerk. it's usually a little rough on the central basin of Erie so the front release had to be set a little tight so we wouldn't get a bunch of false releases when the boat surged.
as far as settings on the diver I always use 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, or 5.0 and we rarely have lines tangle on us. but we make sure we get them started straight, let them out starting on the opposite side, and let them out slowly. we let the outside diver out then the middle diver goes out 20' less and then the back diver is 20' less than our middle diver. when the middle diver is out 130' and were letting the outside diver out we let it out 140' then take the rod over and place it in the holder and stop letting line out at 150'. this helps prevent lines from tangling with other lines.
